Focal Leg Dystonia Associated with Cerebellar Infarction and Application of Low-Frequency Cerebellar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Evidence of Topographically Specific Cerebellar Contribution to Dystonia Development.
Article in Cerebellum (London, England), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The cerebellum has recently been highlighted as a key neural substrate responsible for dystonia. A 57-year-old female presented with isolated focal leg dystonia that developed 8 years after acute cerebellar infarction. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed an old cerebellar infarct in the right anterior cerebellum. Low-frequency cerebellar repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the right cerebellum partially improved dystonia in this patient. This case provides valuable evidence on cerebellar mechanisms related to the development of dystonia in a topographically specific manner. Cerebellar brain stimulation can be a potential therapeutic strategy for patients with dystonia.
